Description: A Humanitarian Past opens a window on our early history. Large numbers of newly discovered figurine sculptures, when laid beside ancient Greek myths, dramas, and epic poems show antiquity had an intimate knowledge of their predecessor's social value system. Riane Eisler, the renowned author of the book The Chalice and the Blade; Our History, Our Future observes Änggård brings both a passionate voice and a unique background to this task of showing not only that we can build but also that we actually have built, more humanitarian societies. -- Cover.
